Music Picks for Tuesday, May 11

OK Go! - Lincoln Theatre (Indie Rock)
Indie Rock Heavyweights OK Go - light up Raleigh while on their national tour that is mostly sold out. These guys are White Hot in the indie music scene and it is a real treat that Raleigh can host this show (courtesy of the Cats Cradle). Their music style is simplistic - with rock/alt guitar, vocals and light electro keys. Its a great sound and hugely popular with over 1 million hits on their top 3 songs.... Check these guys out - it's great stuff and certainly will be a packed out show...
www.myspace.com/okgo - check out "WTF" "Invincilble" & "Here it goes again" - the latter of which played on most major radio....

Nova Stella - Pourhouse (Funk/Folk Rock)
This Greeville based band has been a pleasant surprise. In their 18 months of existance - they have not only defined their sound, but have been able to successfully get the masses to buy into their unique stylings. Self described as a "Funk Band that Ate a Folk Singer" - and their ecclectic sound does lend itself to this but also it is more than that - it's great music that can stretch from funk to alt rock - blended in with some great vocals.... This is certainly a unique sound - but it is very good and certainly worth a listen.
Oatmeal Conspiracy & Pacifico open the evening - both are fine bands and will bring some Indie Pop/Jazz to warm you up. Expect a 9pm start with Nova Stella coming on around 11.
